I have a 1967 chevelle. I am doing a front disc up grade. the Proportioning Valve is mounted under the master cylinder flat. the front of the Proportioning Valve has 2 locations to add your front brake lines. if you only want to use 1 location. what do you use to plug the other location to prevent air to enter the system or is it better to use both locations.


thanks to everybody that helped

I'm having trouble figuring my 67 out too. A picture sure would help.
I bought the whole conversion kit.

Don't know but it's plumb

Sorry, being a plumber, I had to do it.
(but you're certainly not the only one that spells it wrong)

You should be able to get a plug that fits at any parts store, I got one not too long ago at Autozone. Bring the prop valve to the store, or ask them for a plug that fits the port for the flare fitting on a standard 3/16" line. Note that the plug needs to be for a flare fitting, a simple threaded plug won't seal right. Don't let them talk you into a standard plug with teflon tape or pipe dope, like I have heard some people do. :clonk:

Can't remember the thread size, that's why I always prefer to bring the parts to the store. :D
